What the.....!!!


what kind of question is thatHow does the body size of sea lions affect the overall population numbers?
A larger body, means more energy is needed to sustain an individual organism. A mother sea lion can only provide a certain amount of energy for her young, thus capping the reasonable amount that she should give birth to.





And in general, since one species will have a certain diet, smaller bodies mean more can be fed.





Also, the size of the body can affect how many are killed by predators.
